WESTERN UNION SAGACITY.

The millennium is approaching. Not
only are all the great railroad corpora
tions reducing their freight and passen-
ger tariffs, but now comes the Western
Union telegraph company with the an
nouncement of general reduction in
rates to take eff ,ct December LIST. Re-
Gently this company absorbed the Balti-
more & Ohio telegraph system, the only
line that had become in any sense rival.
The cry of the timid then went up that
this monstrous, heartless monopoly now
having things it's own way would embrace
its opportunity to grasp everything in
sight and telegraph tolls hereafter
would be enormous. What is the result?
Without adverse legislation, without
competition it voluntarily reduces the
rates all over the country. On November
1st a slight reduction was made, but now
comes the announcement of reduction
ranging from 10 to 25 per cent. between
given points. For instance, where it
formerly cost 81 for ten words from Bis
marck to New York, Washington and
other eastern cities, the rate after De-
cember LIST will be but rs cents. To
points where it has been rs cents hereto
fore it will now be 60 cents. While it
may be argued that this is a sagacious
move, and will result in more general
use of the wires by business men and
others, still the volunteer action of the
Western Union in reducing the rates, un-
der the circumstances, is deserving of a
word Of praise and sort of inspires one
with the belief that all corporations are
not soulless after all.

One of the most elaborate affairs ever
held in Jamestown was the complimentary
banquet given to the Dakota Fine Stock
and Breeders association Wednesday even
ing. The association had a splendid meet
ing, and Gerald Pierce, who was the Bis
marck delegate to the convention is enthu-
siastic in his praise of the good results of
the meeting as we'll as of the hospitable
and elegant manner in which the visitors
were entertained by the citizens of James,
town. The banquet was given at 1.-THE
Gladston e" and the reception committee
consisted of Mayor Graham, Vice Presi-
dent E. P. Wells of the Aberdeen, Bis
marck & Northwestern, George R. Topliff
and Charles Dickinson.
A NUM- Der of tOasts found eloquent and
witty responses and the TRIBUNE knows
OF no better way of giving correct idea of
the completeness of the banquet than bv
publishing the bill of fare which was as
follows:
MENU.
Blue Points on Shell.
Celery.
CHICKEN - 'umbo.
Broiled Red Snapper, Sauce Verte.
Potato Croquettes.
Fillet of Dakota beet, Lsrded With Mushrooms.
Mashed Brown Potatoes.
Chicken Outlets, French Peas.
Asparagus.
Broiled Pheasant on Toast.
Sweet Potato Saute.
Brandy Fig Fritters, Sherry Wine Sauce.
Lobster Salad. Shrimp Salad.
Cake. Fruit.
Ice Cream.
Bent's Water Crackers. Edam Cheese
Cafe.
A committee of five was appointed by
the association to organize a combination
sale of Dakota stock to be held in series
OF three places in the territory and much
good Information was impaired by those
who spoke. Among the speakers was Dr.
Alloway, the territorial veterinarian who
is as well posted on cattle as any man in
the northwestern states or territories and
Mr Pierce. though modestly refraining
from commenting On his own speech on
"Poled Angus Cattle" is said by James
townites to have proven a master of the
subject. The cattle question is of vital
Importance to the people of Dakota and
the progressive gentlemen who have taken
such deep interest in the question are pub.
lie benefactors. Good stock and plenty of
it il what will eventually make Dakota
thf'most prosperous state in the union.

ACTIVE ANARCHISTS.
Threatening Letters Sent to judge
C0wing of New York.

Cooper Union Packed With Enthusiasts,
Who Are Entertained by Most sensa-
tional Remarks by Sergius e. sche-
vitsch - Another Circular Issued to
Workingmen by Chicago Anarchists
New YORK, Nov. 28.-At the afternoon
session of the trial of Most, the anarchist,
Judge Cowing announced that he had re-
ceived threatening letter. 1t was one that
he should disregard. The letter read: sIf
you charge against Herr Most you will die.
Death for all officers is there due liberty,"
Another letter unsigned and containing
no threat reminded the Judge that Sharp
should go to Sing Sing before Most is again
imprisoned.
RED HOT MEETING.
Cooper Union was filled to overflow
ing tonight with people who sympatized
with the Chicago anarchists who were
hanged. The meeting had been called by
the trades federation and in behalf of the
widows and orphans of the anarchists re-
Gently executed in Chicago. 1t was an an
archist meeting through and through.
There were red ribbons and feathers on the
women and red neckties and hat bands on
the men. There was red and black flag
back OF the stage and portraits of the
hanged anarchists were draped in black
and displayed. The police were present in
force, but the meeting was not interrupted.
Sergius E. Schevitsch was the orator. In
substance he said: "It's no time to cheer;
IT'S II 5; nc no time to weep. is time to think;
were not hanged for a crime; they were
hanged for what they had tn ught, written
and spoken. They did not hang Spies and
the other anarchists alone; they hung free
speech and free thought. It is
supposed the men were cranks-were
foreigners to whom little attention was
paid II they were such, why was such an
effort put forth to suppress them? Do you
want to know the names of the foreigners
in this country? They are Jay Gould, the
Vanderbilts, and the Russell Sages. The
foreigners are not the anarchists. The
foreign element who have nothing in kind
with the people are the capitalists"
AN ANARCHIST CIRCULAR.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-The anarchists of
this city have prepared rabid circular for
distribution among the working men and
is headed with the single word Flight"
The circular denOunceS the anarchists

ARRESTED FOR MAKING THREATS.
Paul Wolf is IN the same kind of fix as
Herr Most and all for preaching the same
doctrine and making threats. Wolf is
fine looking and highly educated German
about S5 years old. He speaks four or FIVE
languages and is employed by map pub
fishing company. Friday night, perfectly
sober, he went to saloon at 25 Hanover
street where he preached anarchy and fore

One Of the most extraordinary literary
enterprises Of the age is the work which
bears the title Of "Alden's Manifold
Cyclopedia Of knowledge and Ian
guage." The specimen pages which the
publisher sends free to any applicant,
show the type which is used-a good
clear faced BREWER; also the form
/ '"IdeaP for convenience, easy for the eye,
handy to hold. The volumes will aver
age about $40 pages each, and there will
probably be about thirty of them the
manifold" number will not be incon-
venient; when you consult Cyclopedia
you are supposed to know what s.title''
you are looking for; the lettering on the
back OF each volume tells you at glance
what titles will be found within, 80 you
do not look in the wrong one and the
volumes are so "handy you quickly turn
to the sought for page. There will be
several thousand illustrations mo "mere
pictures" but everything of importance
that will serve to illustrate. The Mani
fold Cyclopedia is to be much more than
"Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge:'
it will embody also a dictionary Of the
English language including every word
which has any claim to a place in the
language, How often you have consulted
Appleton's or Chambers's or Johnson's
Cyclopedia and failed to find the title
you we're looking for-then consulted
Webster's Unabridged and were success
full; the word belonged to the dictionary
rather than to the Cyclopedia. Or you
have consulted Webster, and found little
more than mere definition of the word
you must go to the Cyclopedia for de-
tails of knowledge. Or, more probably
than either of the foregoing suppositions,
you do not own first class Cyclopedia
or first-class dictionary, or on nly one of
the two, because of their prohibitory
cost, so you Consult your imagination
and 'go hungry for lack of the few lines
OF print that would satisfy you. In the
Manifold Cyclopedia you will find sur
vey of all knowledge which is illustrated
by the English language and it's cost is
within your reach, only so cents a vol
ume for cloth binding, 65 cents for half
morocco. Specimen pages free, or a
specimen volume may be ordered, and
returned if not wanted. John B. Alden,

AN Aberdeen dispatch says that there
were only three votes cast against di-

and now over forty leading citizens sign
the call for the anti-division convention
at Aberdeen. This shows one of two
things: either great number failed to
vote, or else there has been change in
the sentiment Of large number of d.
visionists. Doubtless both propositions
are true,
